Hi,
I currently work away in the Isle of Man (have been there ca. 1.5 years). I come home at the weekends as my wife & family are here in Dublin.
From October onwards, I'm going to be consulting here a couple of days a week, but still Isle of Man based. I'll move back here permanently at the end of Feb / start of March next year - as my new job starts here then.
We need to get a 2nd car, as we've got 3 x kids, and I'll need to get around when I'm back.
I'm guessing that getting a policy as (currently) non-resident may be difficult - but I will be back over as a resident (and will be in the country more than 185 days) during the next 12 months.
My wife has made some initial enquiries and it's difficult for her to be set up on a 2nd car (as policy holder) with me as a named driver.
Haven't bought a car yet, but probably something 7-8 years old, and not more than a 2ltr diesel - ca. 10k budget.
I'd appreciate any advice / pointers / recommendations.
Many thanks,
DB
